ABOUT SLATE

At Slate, we’re building safe, reliable vehicles that people can afford, personalize and love—and doing it here in the USA as part of our commitment to reindustrialization. The spirit of DIY and customization runs throughout every element of a Slate, because people should have control over how their trucks look, feel, and represent them.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Slate is looking for a hungry, mission-driven Fleet Sales Lead to join our growing fleet team.

As one of Slate’s first fleet sales leaders, you’ll be central to growing our business from the ground up. You’ll be responsible for identifying, engaging, and closing pre-sales and sales with mid-market, enterprise, and government customers. You will serve as a trusted advisor to fleet managers, procurement leaders, and sustainability officers, guiding them through the transition to electric vehicles with Slate’s vehicle, accessories and related fleet solutions.

WHAT YOU GET TO DO

• Develop new leads, while also calling on existing contacts and targeted new accounts.

• Represent Slate externally at events, conferences, and expos.

• Manage a pipeline from qualification to pre-sales, close, and renewal.

• Build long-term relationships with customers and partners.

• Collaborate with internal teams such as Retail Sales, Marketing, Digital, and Engineering.

• Experience with state and local government sales and associated contracting processes is preferred.

• Demonstrated success in complex sales cycles with multiple stakeholders.

• Highly motivated, gritty, self-starter with the ability to operate in a dynamic white space environment and able to work through roadblocks. You’re a hunter, not a farmer.

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, mission-driven startup environment.
